English Languaje Challenges

Hi everyone!

This is the last post of the English course, well, when I enter to the university (2010) I did the “English test” and I took the “preintermediate course” and then never took other English course until now (2015). In this lapsus, I readed many scientifically information in English for different courses, because of this, I need to learn more English because it was very hard for me in the undergrade. Now my English has been better because I’m in the course (I needed more practice) and in the future I want to take the TOEFL or IELTS test to obtain a official certificate of the English level (I need it if I want to go to other country to study or working).

                            

In general this course was very useful for me because I could practice my speaking, listening, writing, reading, etc. (I was five years without to take a English course), but I think that in the university, the English courses must be obligatory in every careers because it is a basal feature now. Related to the English IV course, I think that the blogs are a good exercise to develop the writing and learn to generate coherent ideas.

Personally, I think that I need to improve my speaking because it’s hard to me yet but I know that it’s only practice, practice and practice. I pretend to be better in this aspect when I go in Europe traveling for example at UK. For now, in general outside the English class I practice the language the most part of my time because all of the information is in English, because of this, I’m permanently reading and writing but no speaking in English. I will to improve it, NO PAIN NO GAIN!

My “summer plans”

Hi everyone!, now I will talk you about my plans for this summer.
First, I want to sleep one week and then finish buying some things to my trip (I will go to Barcelona for six months to study). Also, I’ll go to Linares’s practices (preprofesional practices for the veterinary students) as a lead group monitor to get some additional money.

Well, if this summer for me will be different of other summers in the past, I guess that I will go to places around Santiago (Cajón del Maipo, Valparaiso, etc.) to save the money for the trip.

I need to study very much because the laboratory that I go, is a place specialized in genetic and statistical analysis, for this, I need to understand many pc programs and process about these topics.

But, my biggest summer plan is have the security of my parents will be ok when I leave from Chile, I really want to have the security of it.

In general my summer plans for the next year are not very funny because a large number of them are related to the work and study (very rare when you are a student), but for me it’s ok because I understand that it happens when you finish your career, the people starts to see you different (how a man/woman able to do things with responsibility and they trust on you when they know you). It’s the message “No pain, no gain” and “You want it, you get it” and the most important "FUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Bye.    

The 2015...

Hi everyone!

In this topic I’ll talk you about my 2015. In general it was a good year, very different in comparison with the others because I finished the under grade and take a postgraduate immediately (Msc. in animal and veterinary sciences). This year was very intensive because I won a scholarship to go at Spain (Barcelona) for six months to study, because of this I had to do many errands to obtain Student Visa, Passport, Acceptance letters, etc. Also, I got a job in a research project for two years (lot of work!, I’m in the system L ) but It’s very funny because is in my research area (genetic development  and fish farm).

Barcelona, España.

In the beginning of the year I went to travel at Chiloé with my best university friends Felipe, Emilio and Camilo for two weeks, it was very very very funny, we stayed in many beautiful parts of the island, eat the best food (lots of milcao, fish, curanto, luche, etc.).

Duhatao, Chiloé.

Personally, I think that when you have a crazy year you growth inside because you start to take the control of your life, decide your destiny (yiaaaaa), etc. It’s part of the life and you can make everything if you fight for it (No pain No gain). The only bad thing of this year for me was that I broke with my girlfriend because I was very busy with the Msc., job, scholarship, family and other marginal things.

I hope that your 2015 has been very good for you too.
Bye.

TV shows and Series

Hi everyone!

Today I will write about the TV show and television series that I like. First, I don’t watch TV a long time ago...in a galaxy far far away (ok, no xd), but I prefer the Cartoon Network’s series (Regular show, Adventure Time, Adult Swim,  MAD, etc.). The TV show that I saw in a moment of this year (I don’t remember when) is City Tour, I think that this TV program is very interesting because Federico analyze a specific place of Santiago or other city of the country or of the world.

But, now I want to write about a serie that I like a lot, it’s “Mission Hill”, is an american animated television serie that ran on 1999. It’s a very short television serie (18 episodes only) but tells the story about two brothers Andy and Kevin French that they live in the district called Mission Hill.

Andy is a 24 years old man and he is aspiring to be a cartoonist, Kevin is a 17 years old crillboy that he moved to live with Andy at the downtown to finish the secondary school and then he want to go to Yale University. The live with a Andy’s best friend called Jim Kuback, he is a tall and lanky man and is a genius of electronic things (computers, electronic music, etc.). The live in a loft apartment and they have very singulars neighbors. The story is very funny and hipster but you should watch it sometime.

I'm a green boy!

Hi everyone!

Now, I will talk to you about the green life style and how I take this idea into the daily life.
First, be a green person isn’t be an extreme hippie or vegan or vegetarian boy (lot of people think that it’s the same thing). I think that be a green person is more related to think what I can do to reduce the trash that I can to produce in one day (this point is important because is better think in short time than think in a long time).

For example, I can to produce 10 kg of trash in one day (this include food paper, costs for electric energy, water, calefaction system, etc.), now, ¿What we can to reduce this 10 kg of trash?, very simple, the correct use of the energy, trash classification, stop to burn the trash (in rural areas this is very commonly), STOP TO SMOKING AND DON’T PUTTING THE CIGARETTE BUTTS IN A GARBAGE BIN!! (Chile is one of the most smoking countries of the world). I think that if the people thought in these simples actions, Chile would be a more more more clean country, sadly the only way to do this is with a fine for this.

A little bird in a cigarette nest >:/

In my house, we separate the trash in glass, plastic and organic trash. My father has an “earthworm farm” and they “feed” it with the organic trash to make compost. Then it’s used to fertilization (I live in a “farm”, because of this is very important to as the organic trash and the ecologic focus).

It's happens when we don't recycle our trash :(

The Pets :D

Hi everyone!

This topic is very interesting for me because is very close to my career. In general the "pet" as a concept was born in the prehistory when the primitive humans was starting a different interaction with other species (the primitive human hunted animals only to survive). This new relationship was different because the animals (initially the wolf and later other species like horses, cows and birds) was used to many works or company.

Today, the pets are very popular in the society. A lot of different species can be a pet, but other species cannot a pet, for example whales, tigers, lions, elephants, etc. because they are very wild or very dangerous for the owners and their domestication is impossible.

In general, a pet is a very big responsibility that many people don't understand like a very big responsibility. The pet need to eat, need to go to the park (not to poop), need a bed, need medical attention in the correct moment, need interact with others same pets and the most important thing.....the pet need be a pet (many people make a very big mistake when looks their pets like a son, many behavior disorders are caused by this).

To me, my dogs and fishes are very important because they give me much more than many persons. For example, when I arrive to my house so tired or so sad for something, they come to me running very fast and they jump around me shaking their tails, I can see the happiness made dog in this moment....it doesn't have price. I have 7 dogs: Shushu, Ñuño, Luli, Cap, Lucky, Gomita and Toffee, they are the bests, also I have 4 fishes: Lumbago, Skeletor, Manchas and White/Red.

Cap and Lucky (brown), Gomita (Black/White) and Luli (German Shepherd).

Gomita making bullying to Luli jejeje (Gomita from hell)

Ñuño (brown) and Shushu (black), their owner was a chinese man, because of this their names are hard to say.

This video is about a funny-tragic situation of a Pet TV program, see it xd.

Movies....

Hi!

Now I will talk to you about the movies. The history of film began in 1890s in France, when the motion picture cameras were invented and the film production companies started to be established.

In general, I don't watch many films in the week because I haven't much time to do this but, I like to go cinema or stay at home to watch a film.

I like comedy movies, specially Jim Carrey's movies for example "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "Liar Liar", "Irene, me and myself", "Bruce Almighty", etc.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective           

Recently, I went to the "Movie fest" with my girlfiend and we watched "The Martian", this film show us how an astronaut need to use the science to stay alive in Mars because his tripulation think that he died in a martian storm (lots of memes for this film because the actor is the same of "Saving private Ryan" jejejeje).

I think that the process to make a film is very very very hard (in general to make an artistic expression) because you need lots of creativity to take a concept or an idea and from this point you starts to make a history. I don't have this ability, for me is more easy work with genetic information, mathematical models, statistics, etc. My respects to artists from any kind of art :).
